The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014, Cuir Blanc by Givenchy is a musky-leather fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of French elegance and understated sophistication. Created by Nathalie Lorson, this composition opens with a fresh spicy accord, which contrasts sharply with its warm, smoky base notes. The heart of soft powdery accords adds a layer of comfort and warmth, making it a versatile scent for day or night.

How to wear it

Apply Cuir Blanc to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The smoky base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time before reapplying. It is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than in open spaces.
